Do you need assistance this year?
We are here for your family.

630 CHED Santas Anonymous, the Christmas Bureau of Edmonton and Adopt-A-Teen programs work together to provide a festive meal and gifts for children at Christmas. For your convenience there is a single application form to receive assistance from all three programs.

If you live in Edmonton check with any agency you have a relationship with, as many have the application forms. Click here for a list of agencies. If you have no connection with an agency you may self refer by calling the Christmas Bureau intake phone lines at 780-414-7695. The intake phone lines are open mid-November to mid-December.

Adopt-A-Teen

The Salvation Army

We partner with The Salvation Army to ensure they have the gifts required to fulfill their requests at Christmas.

If you have applied for assistance through The Salvation Army (Edmonton) they will provide the required toys, teen gift cards and food hamper. You will not receive assistance from The Christmas Bureau, Adopt-A-Teen or 630 CHED Santas Anonymous.

My grandpa, Jerry Forbes understood that sometimes people need a little extra help and created Santas Anonymous in 1955 with the hopes that no child will have to wake up on Christmas Day without presents to unwrap. Although he sadly passed away before I had the chance to meet him; his spirit lives on through the smiles of the 25,000 children who benefit from this amazing charity every year.
